Nice PhotoI've been dive bombed by humming birds while climbing, but I thought it was my red helmet. I didn't realize they were territorial.

Re: Nice PhotoWell, it's Dow's picture, but I can't resist to comment.
Lisa, they are territorial, but only towards each other. They chase away only other hummingbirds. One time I watched both a hummingbird and a hummingbird moth (insect) to feed from the same plant and they seemed to be willing to share.
Hummingbirds were attracted to your red helmet for sure. They thought you were a flower. Cheers.

Thanks!I think I'll have to find out more about humming birds. We have a lot around our house. They like the honey suckle.

Re: Nice Photothat is what I meant guys...harassing each other over territory, not us...but yeah, they like to get close when we are climbing no matter what we are wearing...funny, always get attention in southern Utah...this year, first time we actually were visited in Canada on the wall by a hummingbird...much more rare up there...cheers
